Before starting working on your website development project it is first important to understand the difference between CMS and Web frameworks.

CMS- Content Management System
A CMS- Content management system is a type of application having multiple features to manage and publish the content on your website or an eCommerce store. WordPress is one of the widely used content management systems having more than 30% of the market share. Other content management systems are – Magento, Drupal, Umbraco and more.
Web Frameworks:
Web frameworks are the codes that are used to build a web application or a website. It is not premade like CMS. if you are building your website using Web frameworks, you have to start from scratch and build the whole website with coding.
